They were ranked 54th out of 56, but were capable of grabbing the cans on the step and we NEEDED more cans, it was a no brainer, and they did exactly what they set out to do. Also, congratulations to team 1592 on their Industrial Design award, it was well deserved, that robot is awesome to watch!
Congrats out to the finalists, 5413, 48, & 291. It was very difficult playing against teams we know so well. I'm so happy everything worked out well in the end. 5413 had punched their ticket to worlds at the Pittsburgh regional and 48 earned a wildcard due to 379's winning of the Engineering Inspiration award.
And then to top it off, 5418, wins the Rookie All-Star award! This is a team that we worked with as part of our NEOFRA partnership. We are so happy for them and their accomplishments. That also means that 4 of our 7 NEOFRA teams have qualified for the championships so far!
With all that being said, Thank You to the entire Buckeye Regional staff and volunteers that made this regional so great. I really enjoyed the combination of MC's and the show they put on.
SEE YOU ALL AT WORLDS!!!

Thanks for all the kind words and thanks for picking us!
The Buckeye Regional was one of the best we ever attended. The teams, volunteers and judges where all the nicest people around. The city had plenty to do and lots of different delicious food was avaliable. The only problem was the few rowdy groups in our hotel that were there for the final four tournament but that wasnt even too bad.
Team 379- Thanks for picking us! Your robot functioned from the hp station flawlessly and was exactly what we where looking for going in. Working in two separate zones helped us keep lanes clear for maneuvering around the field and allowed us to score as many points as we could from the landfill.
Team 3193- You guys were the perfect pick to round out our alliance. You allowed us to maximize our points by enabling us to do our 3 tote auton instead of having to use our can burglar auto. As soon as we cleared the zone in front of the cans you guys were right behind us ready to do your job and get the can off the center. The coordination possessed between our two teams maneuvering around the landfill zone with stacks adding up was crucial to our alliances success and you executed flawlessly.
48- You guys are always an amazing team on and off the field. A bond formed in 09 at Connecticut that i am sure will last for years to come. A special shout out to Travis for helping us find a place to park the team trailer off site since the hotel did not have a safer option.
If you guys are ever in Florida look us up. Thanks for being such amazing hosts.
